The first set of stranded Nigerians in Sudan reportedly arrived in Egypt on Thursday evening.
The Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, confirmed this while responding to a tweep on Twitter.
According to her, the first set of buses conveying the citizens arrived late in Aswan when they already closed the border but they are expected to leave early in the morning and proceed thereafter to the Airport.
“The first set has arrived at the Aswan border in Egypt but the border is already closed. They will leave early morning and then proceed to the airport,” Dabiri-Erewa noted.
We understands that the NiDCOM boss revealed this while replying to one [@owolabitaiwo] who said on the microblogging platform that there shouldn’t have been any problem after such bogus money was used for this emergency evacuation.
“We can’t spend $1.2mln on buses for a simple drive-through and have cases of abandonment anywhere.
It’s not head-off ooooh,” the citizen said.
